Vegetation reconstruction

Vegetation reconstruction is a scientific method used to understand past plant life and ecosystems from historical or fossil records. By analyzing preserved plant remains, pollen, seeds, and other organic materials, researchers can piece together what types of vegetation existed in specific areas. This helps reveal how ecosystems changed over time, how climate influenced plant communities, and how vegetation responded to environmental shifts. It provides insights into Earth's ecological history and aids in predicting future changes in ecosystems under shifting climate conditions.
